Chapter 4 terrain, since the ability to execute the mission can be affected by weather, station time, and terrain. Sensors complement ground forces and provide extended depth, some width, and increased flexibility to the operation. Rear Boundary of the Screening Force 4-28. The rear limit of the DRT is depicted as a boundary. Responsibility for the area between the protected force and the DRT rear boundary lies with the protected force. This boundary reflects time and space requirements, clearly delineates terrain responsibilities, and provides depth required by the troop. The boundary can also serve as an RHO line to control the passage of responsibility for the threat to the protected force. Counterreconnaissance and Engagement Criteria 4-29. A thorough understanding of the composition of threat reconnaissance elements enables the DRT to accurately determine likely reconnaissance avenues of approach and how best to acquire them. This drives the task organization and positioning of forces. The reconnaissance squadron’s IPB focuses on identifying the type and quantity of threat reconnaissance and security forces, as well as their potential avenues of approach. The troop commander or XO works with the squadron staff during mission analysis to identify these avenues of approach. The higher commander’s guidance specifically defines the troop’s engagement and destruction criteria for counterreconnaissance. Movement to Occupy the Screen 4-30. Time and threat situation determine the method of occupying the screen. There are three primary methods available to occupy the screen. Zone reconnaissance 4-31. If the situation is vague or more information is required on the terrain between the protected force and the screen line and time is available, the DRT conducts a zone reconnaissance to the designated screen line. This method is time-consuming, but provides the most security. It identifies any threat in the AO and familiarizes the troop with the terrain. Infiltration 4-32. If the threat situation is vague, or the threat is known to be in the AO, and the intent is not to make contact with the threat prior to occupying the screen, the DRT infiltrates to get to the screen line. Infiltration provides the optimum level of stealth, but is also time-consuming and less secure for the DRT because it offers less flexibility in massing combat power. Tactical Foot March 4-33. If there is an accurate picture of the threat situation or time is short, the troop may conduct a tactical foot march to an RP behind the templated screen and deploy from there to the screen line. Control of Displacement to Subsequent Positions 4-34. The squadron headquarters uses phase lines and other GCMs to control the operation and orient the screen; it also defines the event criteria triggering displacement. Since displacement to subsequent positions is event-driven, phase lines serve to guide the DRT commander’s planning and orientation for displacement to subsequent screen lines during the execution of the screen mission. Possible Follow-on Missions 4-35. To facilitate planning and future operations, the troop’s next likely mission is defined with enough information to allow the commander to begin planning and preparing for it. Providing this information also helps define the endstate of the screen mission. 4-6 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Security Operations 4-36. When the DRT receives a security mission, its AO is usually identified by lateral boundaries with a FLOT or LOA (PL BIRD) and a rear boundary (PL DOG) specified. (See Figure 4-1, stationary screen.) The threat boundary may also be the designated RHO line. The reconnaissance squadron includes A2C measures to facilitate aerial reconnaissance within or beyond the troop’s AO. Figure 4-1. Stationary screen 4-37. Based on the squadron or protected force guidance, the DRT commander develops his plan during TLP, considering the following: Friendly force considerations, including: Protected force’s mission, commander’s intent, and CCIR. Mission of adjacent forces and coordination points for them. Higher commander’s reconnaissance focus, tempo, engagement criteria, and security destruction and displacement criteria. Missions of other reconnaissance elements, such as a Prophet operating within the troop AO or in support of the troop, but not under troop control. Capabilities and limitations of other reconnaissance elements that are attached to or controlled by the troop. Terrain and weather considerations, including effects on effective ranges of weapon systems, laser designators, and NVDs. Effects on SUASs and other aviation assets for reconnaissance, transport, resupply, fires, or CASEVAC/MEDEVAC. Effects on cross-country mobility. The threat situation, including: Type and capabilities of likely threat weapon systems. Special equipment, such as ground sensor systems, signal intercept, and surveillance radar. Squadron guidance on threat COAs, including a SITEMP that depicts composition, dispositions, and likely axis of advance. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 4-7
